Max PST size?
This particular user was migrated from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 simply
by copying the Outlook.pst file from the old machine to the new one, so I'm assuming the Outlook.pst file is still ANSI. Is there any way to migrate the PST file to Unicode format to take advantage of the larger PST file support Unicode offers? -- Cheers, Mitch Tulloch [MVP--Windows Server] http://www.mtit.com "neo [mvp outlook]" wrote in message ... Correct. "Mitch Tulloch" wrote in message ... So if needed you could create additional archive files and Outlook would still work and not choke as long as each file is under the 2GB limit? -- Cheers, Mitch Tulloch [MVP--Windows Server] http://www.mtit.com "Oliver Vukovics" wrote in message ... Hi Mitch, every PST file (Outlook 97-2002) can have 2GB. If you have 2 PST file (Outlook.PST and an archive.pst) every single PST file could have 2 GB. Outlook.PST = 2 GB archive.pst = 2GB Combined = 4 GB -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Synchronize your Outlook: Public SyncTool http://www.publicshareware.com "Mitch Tulloch" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... Does the 2 GB ANSI limit for Outlook PST apply only to the size of the Outlook.pst file, or to the combined size of the Outlook.pst and Archive.pst files? -- Cheers, Mitch Tulloch [MVP--Windows Server] http://www.mtit.com

Create a new .pst file in the unicode format (file-new-outlook data file-personal folders file) and then drag and drop items from the old to the new. Once everything is moved over, close the old one.

Thanks! One final question--are there any performance gains or other
significant reasons why migrating Outlook.pst from ANSI to Unicode would be preferred over simply creating multiple Archive.pst files as needed to keep ANSI Outlook.pst under the 2GB limit? -- Cheers, Mitch Tulloch [MVP--Windows Server] http://www.mtit.com "Oliver Vukovics" wrote in message ...

Max PST size?
Hi Mitch,
this questions is a very difficult question: are there any performance gains or other significant reasons why migrating Outlook.pst from ANSI to Unicode some peolpe/users say, the newest software version must be better then the "old" ones. The general meaning about "old" Outlook PST files is: The are not safe, they often go corrupted and the maximum size is not 2 GB, the make problems after 1.6GB. I can not confirm this. We work with 15 central "old" shared PST files with arround 1.5 - 1.8GB (for every PST) since three and a half years without any problems. The benefit of an Unicode PST is of course the higher capacity (20GB) and it is a unicode PST , so a lot of users hope that this format is more stable then the old PST format. It is easier to handle one PST file then 3,4 or 5 and it is easier to save one file then addditional files, but the performance is the same. I prefere to use Outlook 2003 with Unicode PST files, because this version was developed for Unicode PST files. This is my personal meaning. All other users round the world could have another meaning. ;-) -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Share your contacts, calendars or e-mails http://www.publicshareware.com "Mitch Tulloch" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...
